REGENERATE AUSTRALIA

The bushfire tragedy of 2019-20 united us as a nation.

Together we watched, horrified, as iconic landscapes burnt,

and lives, homes and wildlife were destroyed.

Regenerate Australia aims to rejuvenate places and populations, and

future-proof Australia against the climate disasters to come with four major programs:


  • Koalas Forever: doubling wild koalas on Australia’s east coast by 2050

  • Towards Two Billion Trees: protecting, restoring and planting two billions trees by 2030.

  • Renewables Nation: accelerating Australia’s transition to a renewables export superpower.

  • Innovate to Regenerate: supporting innovative, resilience-building and scalable solutions that help to Regenerate Australia and future-proof Australian communities.

  • Planting more than 46,000 koala food and habitat trees, and restoring 40 hectares of koala habitat.

  • Delivering emergency relief and ongoing wildlife and landscape regeneration by partnering with over 40 organisation across every state and territory.

  • Calling for key NSW Ministers to protect critical unburnt forests as wildlife refuges under WWF’s Defending the Unburnt strategy, securing more than 16,000 signatures on petitions.

  • Identifying nine innovative projects for funding through the $1.32m Bushfire Regeneration Challenge.

  • Kick-starting our bold program of action with the goal of raising $300m over five years.

  • Working to deliver climate-ready restoration by partnering with Greening Australia and launching a $50m prospectus.

  • Accelerating Australia’s transition to a Renewable Energy Export Superpower with over $4.1bn in government funding commitments, consistent with Renewables Nation policy asks.
